CPAs’ Audit Report
To Chien Shing Stainless Steel Co., Ltd.:
Audit opinion
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Chien Shing Stainless Steel Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 and the statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC), and SIC Interpretations (SIC) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission (“FSC”).
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards of the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with The Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the Company for the year 2024. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. We decided the key audit matters are the followings:
Valuation of Inventories
The amount of inventory of the Company is material to the financial statements. The inventory is valued at the lower of the cost of inventory and the net realizable value. Since the management judgment is involved when deciding the net realizable value parameter assumptions, the inventory valuation is listed as a key audit matter. For the uncertainty of accounting policies, significant accounting judgments, estimation, and assumptions related to the valuation of inventories, and relevant disclosures, please refer to Notes 4, 5 and 10 to the financial statements.
We have performed the main audit procedures against the said matters as below:
-
I. Understanding and evaluating the appropriateness of the Company's policy for losses from inventory valuation decline and internal control.
-
II. Obtaining the inventory valuation statement and check the accuracy and reasonableness of the net realizable value calculated by sampling.
Other Matters
The parent company only financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2023 were audited by other independent auditors, and an unqualified opinion was issued on March 14, 2024.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the IFRS, IAS, IFRIC, and SIC endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
While preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
3
Those charged with governance (including members of the Audit Committee) are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the auditing standards of the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with the auditing standards of the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
I. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
II. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.
-
III. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
IV. Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and. based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or. if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
V. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors' report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

The income statement shall present subtotals and totals for operating profit or loss, profit or loss before financing and income tax, and total profit or loss.
-
Guidance is provided to strengthen aggregation and disaggregation requirements: the Company shall identify assets, liabilities, equity, income, expenses, and cash flows arising from individual transactions or other events, and classify and aggregate them based on shared characteristics, so that each line item presented in the primary financial statements has at least one similar characteristic. Items with dissimilar characteristics shall be disaggregated in the primary financial statements and in the notes. The Company shall label such items as “other” only when no more informative label can be identified.
-
Enhanced disclosure of management-defined performance measures: when the Company engages in public communications outside the financial statements, and when it communicates management’s perspective on an aspect of the Company’s overall financial performance to users of the financial statements, it shall disclose relevant information about such
13
management-defined performance measures in a single note. This includes a description of the measure, how it is calculated, a reconciliation to subtotals or totals specified in IFRS accounting standards, and the related income tax and non-controlling interest effects of the reconciling items.
In addition to the above impacts, as of the approval date of this financial report, the Company continues to assess the effects of various standard amendments and interpretations on its financial position and performance. Related impacts will be disclosed upon completion of the assessment.
IV. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
- (I) Statement of Compliance
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC).
- (II) Basis of Preparation
Except for financial instruments measured at fair value and net defined benefit liabilities recognized as the present value of defined benefit obligations less the fair value of plan assets, the financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis.
Fair value measurements are categorized into Levels 1 to 3 based on the observability and significance of the inputs used:
-
Level 1 inputs: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible at the measurement date.
-
Level 2 inputs: Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices).
-
Level 3 inputs: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
-
(III) Criteria for Classification of Assets and Liabilities as Current or Non-Current Current assets include:
-
Assets held primarily for trading purposes;
-
Assets expected to be realized within 12 months after the balance sheet date;
- and
-
Cash (excluding those restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a
14
liability for more than 12 months after the balance sheet date).
Current liabilities include:
-
Liabilities held primarily for trading purposes;
-
Liabilities due within 12 months after the balance sheet date; and
-
Liabilities that do not have substantial rights to defer the settlement period to at least 12 months after the balance sheet date.
Assets or liabilities not classified as current are classified as non-current.
(IV) Foreign Currency
When the Company prepares its financial reports, transactions in currencies other than the Company's functional currency (foreign currencies) are recorded in the functional currency at the exchange rate on the transaction date.
Foreign currency monetary items are retranslated at the closing exchange rate on each balance sheet date. Exchange differences arising from the settlement or retranslation of monetary items are recognized in profit or loss in the year in which they arise.
Foreign currency non-monetary items measured at historical cost are translated at the exchange rate on the transaction date and are not retranslated.
(V) Inventories
Inventories include raw materials, supplies, work-in-progress, finished goods, and merchandise. Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. In comparing cost and net realizable value, individual items are used, except for inventories of the same category. Net realizable value refers to the estimated selling price in the normal course of business after deducting the estimated cost required to be completed, and the estimated cost required to complete the sale. The cost of inventories is calculated using the weighted average method.
(VI) Property, Plant, and Equipment
Property, plant, and equipment are recognized at cost and subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.
Property, plant, and equipment under construction are recognized at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes professional service fees and borrowing costs that meet capitalization criteria. Such assets are measured
15
at the lower of cost and net realizable value before reaching the expected usable condition, and the sale price and cost are recognized in profit or loss. When such assets are completed and reach the expected usable condition, they are classified into the appropriate category of property, plant, and equipment, and depreciation begins.
Except for land held for the Company’s own use, property, plant, and equipment are depreciated over their useful lives on a straight-line basis, with each significant portion being depreciated separately. The Company reviews the estimated useful lives, residual values, and depreciation methods at the end of each fiscal year at a minimum. Changes in accounting estimates are applied prospectively.
Upon derecognition of property, plant, and equipment, the difference between the net proceeds from disposal and the carrying amount of the asset is recognized in profit or loss.
(VII) Investment Property
Investment property refers to property held to earn rental income, for capital appreciation, or for both purposes. Investment property also includes land held for currently undetermined future use.
Investment property is initially measured at cost (including transaction costs), and subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.
Investment property is depreciated using the straight-line method.
Upon derecognition of an investment property, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognized in profit or loss.
(VIII) Intangible Assets
1. Separately Acquired
Separately acquired intangible assets with finite useful lives are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful lives. The Company reviews the estimated useful lives, residual values, and amortization methods at the end of each fiscal year at a minimum, and applies the effects of any changes in accounting estimates prospectively.
16
2. Derecognition
Upon derecognition of an intangible asset, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognized in profit or loss for the period.
- (IX) Impairment of Property, Plant and Equipment, Investment Property, and Intangible Assets
The Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is any indication that property, plant and equipment, investment property, and intangible assets may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. If the recoverable amount of an individual asset or cash-generating unit is lower than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit is reduced to its recoverable amount, and the impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss.
When an impairment loss is subsequently reversed, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit is increased to the revised recoverable amount, provided that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized in prior years (after deducting amortization or depreciation). A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss.
- (X) Financial Instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized in the balance sheet when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
At initial recognition, financial assets and financial liabilities that are not measured at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of the financial asset or financial liability. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets or financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss are recognized immediately in profit or loss.
- Financial Assets
17
Regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized using trade date accounting.
- (1) Measurement Categories
The Company classifies its financial assets into the following categories: financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL), financial assets measured at amortized cost, and investments in equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI).
- A. Financial Assets Measured at Fair Value Through Profit or Loss (FVTPL)
Financial assets measured at FVTPL are mandatorily measured at fair value through profit or loss. Such assets include investments in equity instruments that are not designated to be measured at fair value through other comprehensive income.
Financial assets measured at FVTPL are measured at fair value. Dividends and interest income derived from these assets are recognized in other income and interest income, respectively. Gains or losses arising from remeasurement are recognized in other gains and losses. For the method of determining fair value, please refer to Note 23.
- B. Financial Assets Measured at Amortized Cost
If the Company’s financial assets meet both of the following conditions, they are classified as financial assets measured at amortized cost:
-
a. They are held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and
-
b. The contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Financial assets measured at amortized cost (including cash, accounts receivable, other receivables, and refundable deposits) are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any
18
impairment losses. Foreign exchange gains or losses are recognized in profit or loss.
Except under the following two circumstances, interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of the financial asset:
-
a. For purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets, interest income is calculated by applying the credit-adjusted effective interest rate to the amortized cost of the financial asset.
-
b. For financial assets that are not purchased or originated as credit-impaired but subsequently become credit-impaired, interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the amortized cost of the asset beginning in the reporting period following the recognition of credit impairment.
Credit-impaired financial assets refer to cases where the issuer or debtor is experiencing significant financial difficulty, has defaulted, is highly likely to file for bankruptcy or undergo other financial restructuring, or where the active market for the financial asset has disappeared due to financial difficulties.
- C. Investments in Equity Instruments Measured at Fair Value through Other Comprehensive Income
At initial recognition, the Company may make an irrevocable election to designate investments in equity instruments that are neither held for trading nor recognized as contingent consideration in a business combination as measured at fair value through other comprehensive income.
Investments in equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income are subsequently measured at fair value. Changes in fair value are recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in other equity. Upon disposal of the investment, the cumulative gain or loss is transferred directly to retained earnings and is not reclassified to profit or loss.
19
Dividends from investments in equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income are recognized in profit or loss when the Company’s right to receive the payment is established, unless the dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of the investment.
(2) Impairment of Financial Assets
At each balance sheet date, the Company assesses impairment losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost (including accounts receivable) based on expected credit losses.
For accounts receivable, the allowance for impairment is recognized based on lifetime expected credit losses. For other financial assets, the Company first assesses whether credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition. If not, an allowance is recognized based on 12-month expected credit losses. If credit risk has increased significantly, an allowance is recognized based on lifetime expected credit losses.
Expected credit losses are the probability-weighted average of credit losses based on the risk of default. Twelve-month expected credit losses represent the expected credit losses arising from possible default events within 12 months after the reporting date, while lifetime expected credit losses represent the expected credit losses arising from all possible default events over the expected life of the financial instrument.
Without taking the collateral held into consideration, the Company determines that a default has occurred for a financial asset when the following conditions are met for the purpose of internal credit risk management:
-
A. Internal or external information indicates that the debtor is unlikely to fulfill its debt obligations.
-
B. The asset is more than 90 days past due, unless there is reasonable and supportable information indicating that a more appropriate default criterion is available.
Impairment losses on all financial assets are recognized by reducing the carrying amount through an allowance account.
20
However, for investments in equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, the allowance is recognized in other comprehensive income and does not reduce the carrying amount of the asset.
(3) Derecognition of Financial Assets
The Company derecognizes a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or when the financial asset has been transferred and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to another entity.
Upon derecognition of a financial asset measured at amortized cost in its entirety, the difference between the carrying amount and the consideration received is recognized in profit or loss. Upon derecognition of an investment in an equity instrument measured at fair value through other comprehensive income in its entirety, the cumulative gain or loss is transferred directly to retained earnings and is not reclassified to profit or loss.
2. Financial Liabilities
(1) Subsequent Measurement
All of the Company’s financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
(2) Derecognition of Financial Liabilities
When a financial liability is derecognized, the difference between the carrying amount and the consideration paid (including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed) is recognized in profit or loss.
(XI) Provisions
Provisions are recognized based on the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the balance sheet date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Provisions are measured at the present value of the estimated cash flows required to settle the obligation.
Onerous Contracts
When the Company expects that the unavoidable costs of fulfilling a
21
contract exceed the expected economic benefits to be derived from it, a present obligation arising from the onerous contract is recognized as a provision. In assessing whether a contract is onerous, the cost of fulfilling the contract includes both the incremental costs of fulfilling the contract and an allocation of other costs that are directly related to contract performance.
(XII) Revenue Recognition
After the Company identifies the performance obligations in the customer contract, the transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation, and revenue is recognized when each performance obligation is satisfied.
Income from product sales
Revenue from sales of goods is derived from the sale of cold-rolled stainless steel coils. Revenue and trade receivables are recognized at the point when the goods have arrived at the customer’s designated location, at which time the customer has the right to determine the price and use of the goods, bears the primary responsibility for resale, and assumes the risk of obsolescence.
In the case of processing using customer-supplied materials, as control over the processed products is not transferred, revenue is not recognized upon delivery of the materials.
(XIII) Leases
The Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease on the contract commencement date.
The Company is the lessor
When the lease transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the underlying asset to the lessee, it is classified as a finance lease. All other leases are classified as operating leases.
Under operating leases, lease payments net of any lease incentives are recognized as income on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Initial direct costs incurred in obtaining an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
(XIV) Borrowing Costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction, or production of qualifying assets are capitalized as part of the cost of those assets
22
until substantially all the activities necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use or sale are complete.
For specific borrowings, investment income earned on the temporary investment of those borrowings before expenditure on the qualifying asset is incurred is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalization.
All other borrowing costs are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.
(XV) Employee Benefits
1. Short-Term Employee Benefits
Liabilities for short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount expected to be paid in exchange for employee service.
2. Post-Employment Benefits
Pension contributions under defined contribution plans are recognized as expenses in the period in which the employees provide the related services.
The defined benefit cost (including service cost, net interest, and remeasurement) of defined benefit plans is determined using the projected unit credit method. Service cost (including current service cost) and net interest on the net defined benefit liability (asset) are recognized as employee benefit expenses in the period in which they occur. Remeasurements (including actuarial gains and losses and the return on plan assets, excluding interest) are recognized in other comprehensive income and included in retained earnings in the period in which they arise. These amounts are not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent periods.
The net defined benefit liability (asset) is the deficit (surplus) of defined benefit plan obligations over plan assets. The net defined benefit asset recognized cannot exceed the present value of any economic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan.
(XVI) Income Tax
Income tax expense comprises current income tax and deferred income tax.
23
1. Current Income Tax
The Company determines the current period’s taxable income (loss) in accordance with the laws and regulations enacted in each jurisdiction for income tax filings, and calculates the income tax payable (recoverable) accordingly.
Additional income tax on unappropriated earnings, calculated in accordance with the Income Tax Act of the Republic of China, is recognized in the year the shareholders’ meeting resolves the earnings appropriation.
Adjustments to income tax payable for prior years are recognized in current income tax.
2. Deferred Income Tax
Deferred income tax is calculated based on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and their respective tax bases used in the computation of taxable income.
Deferred income tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred income tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable income will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and tax loss carryforwards can be utilized.
The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and is reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable income will be available to allow all or part of the assets to be recovered. Deferred income tax assets previously not recognized are also reviewed at each balance sheet date and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable income will allow the deferred income tax assets to be recovered.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realized, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. The measurement of deferred income tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company
24
expects, at the balance sheet date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
3. Current and Deferred Income Tax
Current and deferred income tax are recognized in profit or loss, except for income tax related to items recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, which are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.
V. Major Sources of Estimation Uncertainty in Critical Accounting Judgments, Estimates, and
Assumptions
When applying accounting policies, and where relevant information is not readily available from other sources, management must make judgments, estimates, and assumptions based on historical experience and other relevant factors. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
In developing significant accounting estimates, the Company considers potential impacts on key areas such as projected cash flows, growth rates, discount rates, and profitability. Management continuously reviews these estimates and the underlying assumptions.
Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty
Inventory Impairment
Net realizable value of inventories is estimated as the selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. These estimates are assessed based on current market conditions and historical sales experience of similar products. Changes in market conditions may significantly affect these estimates.

The Company invests in the common shares of the above-mentioned companies for mid- to long-term strategic purposes and expects to generate profits through long-term holdings. Management believes that recognizing short-term fair value fluctuations of these investments in profit or loss would not align with the Company’s long-term investment strategy. Therefore, the Company has designated these investments as measured at fair value through other comprehensive income.
IX. Accounts Receivable – December 31, 2024

The Company’s average credit period for sales of goods is within 90 days, and the receivables are non-interest-bearing. The Company evaluates its major customers using publicly available financial information and historical transaction records, and selects those with higher credit ratings as trading counterparties. The Company continuously monitors credit risk exposure and counterparties’ credit ratings, and reviews credit limits annually to manage credit risk.
26
The Company recognizes a loss allowance for receivables based on lifetime expected credit losses. Lifetime expected credit losses are calculated using a provision matrix, which takes into account the customers’ past default records, current financial conditions, and the economic conditions of the industry, along with GDP forecasts and industry outlook. Based on the Company’s historical experience, the loss patterns across different customer groups do not significantly differ. Therefore, the provision matrix does not further classify customer groups but determines expected credit loss rates based solely on the number of days past due.
As of December 31, 2024, all accounts receivable were not past due; accordingly, no loss allowance was recognized.
X. Inventories

The cost of goods sold related to inventories for 2024 and 2023 amounted to NT$1,263,276 thousand and NT$894,525 thousand, respectively.
The cost of goods sold for 2024 and 2023 included inventory valuation losses of NT$4,047 thousand and reversal gains of NT$249 thousand, respectively. The reversal gain in 2023 resulted from the disposal of inventory items for which previous valuation losses had been recognized when their net realizable value had fallen below cost.
XI. Property, Plant and Equipment

27
The Company entered into a rooftop lease agreement with another company in July 2017. The lease period extends from the commercial operation date of the solar power system to the end of 20 years. The rent is based on a floating rate calculated as a fixed percentage of actual electricity sales revenue generated by the solar power system, and is collected monthly. The Company earned rental income of NT$1,292 thousand and NT$1,465 thousand for the years 2024 and 2023, respectively, from the aforementioned lease.
On February 6, 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a resolution to activate land assets and improve the Company’s financial structure. It was resolved to dispose of land and buildings located at Lot No. 491, Pitou Section, Madou District, Tainan City. The Chairman was authorized to use the real estate appraisal report as the reference for setting the selling price, to sign sale contracts and other related documents on behalf of the Company, and to handle follow-up matters. Accordingly, the carrying amount of NT$4,104 thousand for the aforementioned property was reclassified as investment property.
For information on property, plant and equipment pledged as collateral, please refer to Note 25.

Investment property is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the following useful life:
Main building structure 16.5-50 years
The fair value of the Company’s investment property is assessed by management based on market evidence of transaction prices of similar properties. Fair value is as follows:
December 31, 2024 December 31, 2023 Fair value $ 788,802 $ 800,823
On January 18, 2023, the Company entered into a land lease agreement with a lessee to lease land subdivided from Land Lot No. 5, Magong Section, Madou District, Tainan City, at a monthly rental of NT$500 thousand. The lease term was from January 18 to March 17, 2023. If the lessee fails to complete the optoelectronics industry application procedures within the above lease term, the lessee must not claim any compensation from the Company for the damage caused by the termination of the above land lease. If the lessee intends to purchase the leased land within the lease term, it may sign a land sale contract with the Company. Subsequently, on February 6, 2023, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the sale of the aforementioned land for NT$419,176 thousand. The Company then signed a real estate sale and purchase agreement on February 10, 2023, with a total transaction price of NT$419,176 thousand and appointed a bank to serve as trustee for the transaction funds. In April 2023, the
29
buyer remitted the contract deposit of NT$41,918 thousand into the aforementioned real estate transaction trust account at the designated bank. In May 2023, the Company completed the transfer of land ownership, received the remaining transaction payment of NT$377,258 thousand, and recognized a gain on disposal of investment property of NT$394,777 thousand and an income tax expense—land value increment tax of NT$15,099 thousand.
On March 28, 2023, the Company entered into a real estate and equipment sale and purchase agreement with the buyer, selling Land Lot No. 491, Pitou Section, Madou District, Tainan City, along with the electrical room, booster station, and UHV pipelines located within the unregistered structure on the land, including in-plant equipment, external conduit assets, and associated usage rights, for a total consideration of NT$197,347 thousand. However, equipment delivery was contingent upon completion of installation of specific electrical equipment at the Company’s in-plant booster station and confirmation that electricity usage would not be affected. The above transaction funds were entrusted to a bank for price trust. In May 2023, the buyer remitted the contract deposit of NT$34,735 thousand (comprising NT$9,735 thousand for land and NT$25,000 thousand for equipment) into the aforementioned real estate transaction trust account at the designated bank. In February 2025, due to business needs, the buyer negotiated and signed a supplementary agreement with the Company to complete the transfer of land ownership in advance and remitted the remaining land sales proceeds of NT$87,612 thousand into the aforementioned trust account at the designated bank. The land ownership transfer was completed accordingly.
In the fourth quarter of 2004, the Company adopted net fair value as the recoverable amount for assessing its investment property—land and buildings. After appraisal, the estimated recoverable amount was lower than the carrying amount, and an impairment loss of NT$24,997 thousand was recognized for the difference. Subsequently, in the second quarter of 2014, the aforementioned investment property—land and buildings was re-evaluated based on actual transaction registration data obtained from the officially announced market price. The estimated recoverable amount of the land was higher than the carrying amount, and a reversal of NT$5,997 thousand was recognized. Later, in November 2017, as a result of the merger between the Company and its subsidiary, an accumulated impairment loss of NT$53,415 thousand related to investment property was transferred into the Company.

The provision for onerous contracts arises from a loss-making purchase contract in the fourth quarter of 2023 due to a decline in raw material prices. The loss is measured as the difference between the unavoidable costs of fulfilling the contract and the economic benefits expected to be derived from the contract. The Company estimates the provision based on the compensation or penalties that would be incurred for failing to perform the contract, which management considers the best estimate of the expenditure
31
required to settle the obligation. This estimate may change due to fluctuations in spot market prices.
In March 2024, the Company received a notice from the supplier of the aforementioned onerous contract informing the Company of the contract’s termination. However, the Company continued negotiations with the supplier, and in December 2024, both parties confirmed that a consensus could not be reached. Accordingly, the liability provision and related prepayments were written off.
XVI. Post-Employment Benefit Plans
(I) Defined Contribution Plans
The Company's pension plan under the Labor Pension Act is a government-administered defined contribution plan. In accordance with the Act, the Company contributes 6% of each employee’s monthly wages to the individual pension account at the Bureau of Labor Insurance.
(II) Defined Benefit Plan
The pension scheme adopted by the Company in accordance with the Labor Standards Act of the Republic of China is a government-administered defined benefit plan. Pension payments to employees are calculated based on the length of service and the average monthly salary over the six months prior to the approved date of retirement. The Company contributes an amount equal to 2% of the employees’ total monthly wages to the pension fund. Contributions are deposited into a dedicated account with the Bank of Taiwan in the name of the Labor Pension Reserve Supervisory Committee. Before year-end, if the estimated balance in the dedicated account is insufficient to cover payments to employees expected to meet retirement criteria in the following year, the Company will make a one-time contribution of the shortfall before the end of March of the following year. This dedicated account is managed by the Bureau of Labor Funds, Ministry of Labor. The Company has no right to influence the investment management strategy.
The amounts recognized in the balance sheet for the defined benefit plan are as follows:

The Company is exposed to the following risks under the defined benefit pension scheme pursuant to the Labor Standards Act:
-
Investment risk: The Bureau of Labor Funds, Ministry of Labor, invests the labor retirement fund through both internal management and external mandates in domestic and overseas equity securities, debt instruments, and bank deposits. However, the return on the Company’s allocated plan assets is based on an amount not lower than the interest rate of a two-year time deposit with local banks.
-
Interest rate risk: A decline in government bond interest rates will increase the present value of the defined benefit obligation. However, the return on debt investments within the plan assets would also increase, partially offsetting the impact on the net defined benefit liability.
-
Salary risk: The present value of the defined benefit obligation is calculated with reference to the future salaries of plan members. Accordingly, an increase in the salaries of plan members will result in an increase in the present value of the defined benefit obligation.
The present value of the Company’s defined benefit obligation is determined by a qualified actuary. The key actuarial assumptions on the measurement date are as follows:
| Discount rate Expected salary increase rate |
December 31, 2024 1.60% 3.00% |
December 31, 2023 |
|---|---|---|
| 1.20% 3.00% |
If any significant actuarial assumptions change within a reasonably possible range, while all other assumptions remain unchanged, the resulting increase (decrease) in the present value of the defined benefit obligation would be as follows:
| be as follows: | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Discount rate Increase of 0.25% Decrease of 0.25% |
December 31, 2024 ($ 235) $ 243 |

As actuarial assumptions may be interdependent, it is unlikely that only one assumption would change in isolation. Therefore, the above sensitivity analysis may not reflect actual changes in the defined benefit obligation.

Each issued common share has a par value of NT$10 and entitles the holder to one vote and the right to receive dividends.
On November 6, 2024, the Company’s extraordinary shareholders’ meeting resolved to offset accumulated deficits by reducing capital in the amount of NT$1,085,068 thousand, by canceling 108,507 thousand issued common shares with a par value of NTD 10 per share, representing a capital reduction ratio of 38.59152208%. After the capital reduction, the paid-in capital amounted to NT$1,726,605 thousand, with 172,660 thousand shares issued. The above capital reduction was approved by the Securities and Futures Bureau, Financial Supervisory Commission, on December 3, 2024. The capital reduction record date was set for December 5, 2024, and the registration of the change was completed on December 26, 2024.
(II) Retained Earnings and Dividend Policy
Pursuant to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, if a surplus is generated in the annual final accounts, it shall first be used to pay taxes and
35
offset prior years’ losses, followed by an appropriation of 10% as legal reserve and additional special reserve appropriated or reversed in accordance with relevant laws and regulations. Any remaining surplus shall be combined with unappropriated earnings from prior years, and the Board of Directors shall propose an earnings distribution plan, which shall be distributed upon resolution by the shareholders’ meeting.
For the remuneration distribution policy for employees and directors stipulated in the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, please refer to Note 19(8), "Employees’ Compensation and Directors’ Remuneration."
The Company shall formulate an earnings distribution proposal based on the distributable surplus stated above, taking into account the economic environment in which its business operates, future capital requirements, long-term financial planning, and shareholders’ demand for cash inflows. The proposal shall be submitted to the shareholders’ meeting for resolution. Cash dividends to shareholders shall not be less than 10% of the total dividends distributed. However, if the cash dividend per share is less than NT$0.5, such dividends may be distributed in the form of stock dividends instead.
The Company held its Annual General Meetings on June 14, 2024, and June 15, 2023, respectively, and approved the deficit compensation proposals for fiscal years 2023 and 2022.
In March 2025, the Board of Directors proposed a deficit compensation plan for fiscal year 2024.
The proposal for deficit compensation for fiscal year 2024 is pending approval at the shareholders’ meeting expected to be held in June 2025.

According to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, 2%–3% of pre-tax profit before deducting employees' compensation and directors' remuneration shall be appropriated as employees' compensation, while up to 1% shall be appropriated as directors' remuneration. As the Company incurred accumulated losses in both 2024 and 2023, the Board of Directors resolved on March 14, 2025, and March 14, 2024, respectively, not to accrue employees’ compensation and directors’ remuneration.
If any changes in amounts occur after the issuance of the annual consolidated financial statements, such changes shall be treated as changes in accounting estimates and shall be adjusted in the following year.

XXI. Earnings (Loss) Per Share
In calculating earnings per share, the effect of the capital reduction to offset accumulated deficits has been retrospectively adjusted. The base date for the capital reduction to offset deficits was December 5, 2024. As a result of the retrospective adjustment, the changes in basic and diluted earnings per share for 2023 are as follows:
Unit: NT$ per share
| Basic earnings per share Diluted earnings per share |
Before retrospective adjustment $ 0.81 $ 0.81 |
After retrospective adjustment |

|
| ( | ||
If the Company may elect to distribute employee compensation in the form of shares or cash, it is assumed in calculating diluted earnings (loss) per share that employee compensation will be settled in shares. The potential ordinary shares with dilutive effect are included in the calculation of the weighted average number of outstanding shares to calculate diluted earnings (loss) per share. Before the number of shares to be distributed for employee compensation is resolved in the following year, the potential dilutive effect of such shares continues to be considered in the calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per share.

(IV) Purpose and policy of financial risk management
The Company’s principal financial instruments include investments in
44
equity instruments, accounts receivable, and accounts payable. The Company’s finance department provides services to operating units, coordinates operations in domestic and foreign financial markets, and monitors and manages the financial risks related to the Company’s business activities by analyzing internal reports on the extent and scope of such risks. These risks include market risk (including exchange rate risk, interest rate risk, and other price risk), credit risk, and liquidity risk.
The Company’s significant financial activities are reviewed by the Board of Directors in accordance with applicable laws and the Company’s internal control system. Internal auditors continue to monitor compliance with policies and exposure limits. The Company does not engage in speculative trading of financial instruments (including derivatives).
1. Market Risk
The Company’s operations expose it to major financial risks, including changes in foreign currency exchange rates (see (1) below), changes in interest rates (see (2) below), and other price risks (see (3) below).
(1) Exchange rate risk
The Company is exposed to exchange rate risk arising from sales and purchases denominated in foreign currencies.
Moreover, the Company has assessed that fluctuations in exchange rates would not have a material impact on pre-tax profit or loss. For the carrying amounts of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies as of the balance sheet date, please refer to Note 27.
(2) Interest rate risk
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk primarily due to its borrowings at fixed and floating interest rates. The Company manages this risk by maintaining an appropriate mix of fixed and floating interest rate borrowings.
The carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities exposed to interest rate risk at the balance sheet date are as follows:
December 31, 2024 December 31, 2023
Subject to cash
45
==> picture [313 x 39] intentionally omitted <==
Sensitivity analysis
For floating rate financial assets, the analysis assumes that the amount outstanding at the balance sheet date remains unchanged throughout the year. The rate of change used by the Company when reporting interest rates internally to key management is an increase or decrease of 0.5% in the interest rate, which also represents management's assessment of the reasonably possible range of interest rate changes.
If interest rates had increased/decreased by 0.5%, and all other variables remained constant, the Company’s pre-tax profit or loss for 2024 and 2023 would have increased/decreased by NT$498 thousand and NT$1,016 thousand, respectively. This is primarily due to cash flow interest rate risk arising from floating rate net assets.
(3) Other price risk
The Company is exposed to equity price risk due to its investments in stocks listed on the TWSE/TPEx. Sensitivity analysis
If equity prices had increased/decreased by 5%, the pre-tax profit or loss for 2024 and 2023 would have increased/decreased by NT$4,126 thousand and NT$13,911 thousand, respectively, due to changes in the fair value of financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss. Other comprehensive income before tax for 2024 and 2023 would have increased/decreased by NT$0 thousand and NT$2,579 thousand, respectively, due to changes in the fair value of financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income.
2. Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that the Company may incur financial losses if a counterparty fails to fulfill its contractual obligations. As of the balance sheet date, the Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk,
46
defined as the maximum potential financial loss arising from counterparties failing to fulfill their obligations or from the Company providing financial guarantees (without taking into account any collateral, other credit enhancements, or the revocability of the exposure), primarily derives from:
-
(1) The carrying amounts of financial assets recognized on the balance sheet.
-
(2) The maximum amount the Company may be required to pay under financial guarantees, regardless of the likelihood of such payment.
The Company’s policy is to conduct transactions only with counterparties that have good credit standing and to continue monitoring their credit ratings. The Company also evaluates key customers by referring to publicly available financial information and historical transaction records.
All of the Company’s trading counterparties are financial institutions or corporate entities with sound credit ratings; therefore, no significant credit risk is anticipated.
- Liquidity risk
The Company manages and maintains sufficient cash and cash equivalents to meet operational requirements and mitigate the impact of cash flow fluctuations. Management monitors the usage of banking facilities to ensure compliance with loan covenants.
Bank borrowings are an important source of liquidity for the Company. For details on the Company’s unused credit facilities, please refer to (2) below.
